Surface acoustic wave sensors (SAWs) are excellent at detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) since a sensing layer can be created by spreading a thin film of material across the delay line. This critically enhances performance as it is sensitive to the physical phenomena of interest. This study aims to provide a thorough investigation of the s

Introduction: Accurate assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in perioperative and intensive care patients is very important for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. Clinically, GFR is estimated from plasma creatinine using equations such as Cockcroft-Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology

Bangladesh has the Westminster type of political system, where the prime minister is the main executive, leader of the house and advises the president. The civil service is the administrative arm of the government and has the responsibility to serve the people of the country (GoB, 1994: Art 21). However, the structure of Bangladesh Civil Service sh

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common, occurring in 10 to 30% perioperatively, and this can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is no therapeutic intervention available, hence perioperative renal protection strategies are important to reduce the consequences of AKI. Current consensus of AKI definition was based on serum creati

The Self-determination theory (SDT) developed by Ryan and Deci (1985), has been applied by many L2 researchers to explicate the relationship between motivation and L2 learning outcomes from social and psychological perspectives. In addition, SDT distinguishes intrinsic motivation from extrinsic motivation on L2 learning achievement. Bakar et al. (J

The objective of this paper is to analyze the “gharar” issue of warrant by presenting the empirical evidence of warrant mispricing in Malaysia's market (moneyness and mispricing) and its determinant. The Black Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSOPM) will be used to detect mispricing in a warrant's contract. In addition panel regression wil

Inclusive education (IE) is commonly accepted internationally as a standard right for all children. Malaysia has similar aspiration to implement the concept in the school system. However, it appears IE is challenging for parents, teachers and students. One of the challenges is to produce a well-trained and competent teacher to recognize learning ab

In this paper, a new approach of genetic algorithm called knowledge-based Genetic Algorithm (KBGA-Clustering) is proposed for multidimensional data clustering. Basically, this method adopts knowledge of what called as appropriate cluster centre for a fixed number of k-cluster. The chromosome which has inappropriate genes will be penalised with maxi
